People & Culture Summer Internship 2025/ 2026
4 days ago
As an intern in our People & Culture team, you’ll gain hands-on exposure to both strategic and operational HR, contributing to real projects that make a global impact. From supporting onboarding logistics and drafting letters, to helping coordinate our end-of-year reviews and global awards, you’ll play a key role in embedding the ZURU DNA across our teams.
You’ll also support initiatives like visa and relocation frameworks, global compliance templates, and HR system clean-ups - all while helping our teams work smarter and faster. It’s a unique opportunity to learn the ropes of HR while working alongside a passionate and high-performing team.
You will also:
- Be set up to win with a two-day induction to get you up to speed on everything ZURU
- Learn how our people continue to shift the needle through regular learning sessions with key business leaders
- Experience ZURU’s playful side by dabbling in content creation (#dayinthelife) and attending social events
- And so much more
Our summer internship programme will run from mid November 2025 - mid February 2026.
About You
We don’t ask to see your grades, and we take on students from a range of different backgrounds and degrees. What we care about is sharing our internship experience with students who have a natural inclination to go above and beyond, who demonstrate grit and dedication, and most importantly, who radiate positivity and humility.
ZURU is a special place to work, and we live by our unique set of values, the ZURU DNA (you can find out more about our ZURU DNA on our careers page).
If you’re excited by the opportunity to get stuck in to meaningful work and exciting projects and you have a mindset around continuous improvement and challenging the status quo then we want to hear from you
*Please note that while we don’t have a formalised graduate programme, there may be opportunities to stay on post-internship depending on business needs.*
